Episode 37: Workaholic Veterinarian to Homeschool Mom | Finding Identity Outside of My Career

Dr. Amber Langley Gill was working 12 hour shifts (with a 2.5 hour commute!) as an Emergency Critical Care Veterinarian. She felt God telling her to step down and didn’t listen for five years. One day it finally hit her - Amber was in a serious car accident on her long commute that totaled the truck. Work asked if she was still coming in for her shift that day. Instead, she listened to God and quit her job. Now, she’s been finding identity in faith, marriage, writing, and motherhood - as a full-time homeschool mom to twins.  Instagram: @Giving_Gal [https://www.instagram.com/giving_gal/?hl=en] Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/GivingGal [https://www.facebook.com/GivingGal]  YouTube: Shine Forward Creative [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvQhdrYoAwvdxbz5ye6cwjQ] Website: https://shineforwardcreative.com/ [https://shineforwardcreative.com/]

Episode 36: How Can I Pray for You Today?

The power of obedience and praying for others! I went outside to play with my dog and pray for people like I normally do in the mornings. But this time, I felt nudged by the Holy Spirit to reach out to the people who I’ve been praying for. Instead of listening, I could have focused on my tasks for the day, but I obeyed and reached out to friends, family, clients - telling them that I’m praying for them. Little did I know that it would lead to beautiful conversations - people sharing prayer requests and asking how they can be praying for me! I wanted to share this ripple effect of joy and connection by just obeying the nudge to reach out instead of just praying.

Childhood Hunger to Feeding the Community | Starting a Food Pantry and Learning to Slow Down & Let Go

Audrey shares her amazing journey of starting a successful food pantry to feed the community and the unexpected letting go process led by the Lord. It started with a whisper from the Holy Spirit on a mission trip in Haiti - even though Audrey is a nurse, she felt called to serve her community with food. A part time ministry grew into a full-time food pantry and farm (raising chickens, cows, and pigs, growing fruits & vegetables, and producing local honey) serving over 70 families each week. With growing up in many different homes and often experiencing hunger in childhood, Audrey understands the importance of helping care for families that don’t have an abundance of resources. That is why it was such a surprise when Audrey felt a nudge to slow down. It was this unanticipated nudge which helped prepare Audrey & her family for something they never could have seen coming - a car accident. Through the recovery process, Audrey has been learning to slow down and let go.

Stephanie shares a recent story of making an only God connection while traveling when she obeyed the Holy Spirit. She emphasizes both the importance of taking time to rest and also listening to the voice of the Holy Spirit. Because of her obedience, she and her husband were able to connect with an amazing woman and comfort her in a difficult time. God is good, and we can listen to His still, small voice.
